Dimensions & Packaging: The old apartment has a total indoor area of 320 square meters with 6 bedrooms, a living room, and a dining room. The project places the social area, an area with a high concentration of people, in the center. At the same time, the children's room and master bedroom are located at the left and right ends of the space to realize the radial circulation. The designer removed the walls in the social area and then installed floor-to-ceiling windows and large glass to unify the areas.
